#4. We hope isn't true: NXT to FS1

One of the biggest charms about NXT is the fact that it's a simple, one-hour pre-taped show that is always easy to get through. However, with SmackDown moving to FOX in October, there have been huge discussions about NXT going to FS1 and a complete change in format.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the idea is for the show to go on Wednesday Nights to compete with AEW and changing it to a two-hour live show. While we do understand the business side of things from WWE, it could be detrimental to NXT in the long-run. The current format makes it feel special and whatever that makes NXT stand out now could change with more TV executives having their hands on the show.

Moreover, it's one of the biggest selling points of the WWE Network.
